Tag Man - Kids Next Code app for iPhone and iPad

Tag-Man is an interactive video game created to teach students (ages 5-18) the fundamentals of coding and web design. The game follows the same format of the popular 1980s game, Pac-Man, and uses a similar maze background and similar characters. Tag-Man utilizes different stages to teach students the different tags associated with various categories of web design such as setting up a webpage, formatting a web page, creating content on your webpage, etc. The Tag-Man character plays a similar role of the Pac-Man, where the Tag-Man character’s objective is to capture all of the web design tags while eluding the 4 bug characters (similar to the 4 ghost characters that were used in the Pac-Man game). There is also a section in the game application where students can learn the definition of each web design tag in the game.

Tag-Man combines instructional learning and interactive game play in one application to give students an opportunity to engage in learning web design.
